The E. Carroll Joyner Park TRACK Trail adventures can be used on any of the three miles of paved trails in the 117 acre park. Experience history firsthand by visiting the mule barn, tobacco barn, chicken coop and log cabin. Stroll through the pecan grove, which was planted during the Great Depression in the 1930’s, and try to find the tallest tree. New trees have been planted to fully restore and maintain the grove. Depending on the time of year, look for butterflies and other pollinators in the meadows.
